Mini's electric range — the new Cooper Electric (J01), Cooper SE (F56, discontinued), Aceman and Countryman Electric — uses Type 2 AC + CCS DC universally. Mini sits squarely in the BMW Group ecosystem, sharing platforms with BMW i-models. Compatibility is straightforward; the disambiguation is "Mini" the brand vs "mini" the size descriptor in product listings.
Connector spec by model
- Cooper Electric (J01, 2024+) — Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 95kW DC peak.
- Cooper SE (F56, 2020-2023) — Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 50kW DC peak.
- Aceman (2024+) — Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 95kW DC.
- Countryman Electric (U25, 2024+) — Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. 130kW DC.
AC charging speed at home
Every Mini EV caps at 11kW AC — same as BMW. So:
- 11kW three-phase: ~45 miles/hour. 50kWh battery (Cooper Electric) refills 10-100% in ~4 hours.
- 7.4kW single-phase: ~25-30 miles/hour. Same battery overnight in 6 hours.
Length recommendations
Mini charge ports are at the rear-right on the new J01 Cooper Electric, Aceman and Countryman. F56 Cooper SE was rear-right too. UK driveways: 5m for tight layouts, 7.5m or 10m for typical setups. The shorter cable lengths suit Mini's small footprint — you rarely need more than 7.5m.
Smart-tariff integration
BMW/Mini's Connected app handles basic scheduling. For Octopus Intelligent or similar dynamic tariffs, pair with a smart wallbox — Ohme for the deepest dynamic-pricing integration; MyEnergi Zappi for solar-PV homes; Hypervolt for design + tariff balance.

"Mini" naming disambiguation
This page is for Mini the BMW-owned car brand. If you've searched for "mini" because you're looking for a small or compact charger, see granny chargers (the smallest Mode 2 portable units) or EO Mini Pro 3 (the smallest UK home wallbox by footprint, despite being a different brand).
